Chapter 5 - Unexpected pet

I heard Rowan say, "remain beside me." It was a straightforward statement, but damn, my heart is racing. He can definitely hear them, how embarrassing.

He requested that I remain by his side, I am already on cloud nine.

It was difficult to comprehend, to clarify, I blinked several times.

A strong arm wrapped around my waist, our bodies touching briefly before he abruptly left me and headed towards his room

Serin went after him, when a wolf leaped into Rowan's arms, frightening Serin who screamed and then quickly covered her mouth. She tried to move back and ended up sitting on the ground, but the wolf came down and approached her. She cried out in frustration before running straight to Rowan's bed.

"Your son takes after you," Rowan's mother commented to her husband, after the loud scream. "But you seem to be enjoying it," he responded with a smirk, pulling her closer to him.

The entire room was flipped over as Serin and the wolf raced about, while Rowan simply observed. After releasing a deep sigh, he ran his fingers through his hair before turning to sit on the bed. However, Serin then grabbed his hand and took cover behind him

"Ah, Rowan, this wolf is going to devour me." I attempted to take cover behind Rowan, but the wolf suddenly halted and stared at me with its frightening red eyes full of blood.

"Serin, this is my pet , sky and he is just trying to play with you and also it won't eat you because it is vegetarian, wolf "Rowan explained to serin , who slowly looked at the wolf , 

"Vegetarian too, huh?" she stared at Rowan incredulously, as if he had lost his mind. "Yes, vegetarian. It was a surprise for us too when we discovered it initially," he replied in such a calm manner as if a large wolf in his room didn't faze him at all.

During a family forest trip, Rowan found a sky a few months old and decided to adopt it. However, during a hospital check-up, they discovered that the wolf was a unique and incredibly rare breed.

"Is the image in your profile not of a puppy, but rather a wolf?" I asked Rowan, who simply nodded "hm, around a few months old," before he walked over to the sky and gently stroked its back.

"Rowan looked at the state of his room " it is messy now because of both of you, so please help me clean it."

One hour later, they tidy up the room together.

Serin gazed at her reflection in the mirror and saw her untidy hair. "Oh my," she exclaimed, at a loss for words. Her face blushed instantly as a rough hand carefully fixed her hair, feeling the warm breath close to her neck.

"You can sleep in the guest room , if you're afraid of sky" Rowan said with a low voice , Serin blushed hard but she refused the idea of sleeping with rowan.

"ah—" Serin cries out into the pillow upon entering the guest room, "how humiliating," she sighs and gazes up at the ceiling until she falls asleep.

While lying in his bed, Rowan remembered how childlike but adorable she was as he watched her blush when Sky licked his face.

He whispered near the sky before falling asleep with a smile on his face "next time, you should not scare her."
